Hi ya's, i started my DD in Preschool, pretty late in the year cause we have been waiting for her operation, to get her teeth fixed. Me and my husband decided NOT to put her to kindy because we both decided that she should be allowed to be a child for as long as possible, After three hour's of being with the teacher the teacher pull's me aside to say she suspects a learning development issue and that she would like to have her assessed!!! and put her in a special class, when pushed she said she though my daughter was probably slightly autistic!!!!

I took her out of that school and put her in another one, and after three more hour's of being with the new teacher she say's the same thing, she is behind the other children, well of course she is going to be she hasn't done kindy!!! I don't want to get her assessed cause the assessment will be based on her reading and writing skills so she will fail, cause she doesn't have these skill's yet, me and my husband both think giving a chance she will pick up the skills she need's the teachers r just not giving her a chance, after three hours u just cant say that!!!!

We have now found a daycare that offers a preschool program with less children to help her with the social side of things, but am still concerned she is going to be behind on the literacy side... and won't be ready to start grade one at the beginning of next year.

She was born april 2004 and the cut of is july so if she was born a couple of months later she wouldn't have to start grade one till the year after, i'm also concerned what they do with the little ones that hav'nt been to kindy or preschool do they also put them in the too hard basket???

I seriously don't know what to do!!! and running out of time...
